Re: Norton Ghost 15 what backup files to save

I have a V2i file plus i001.iv21 to i004.iv2i files. The v2i file is 4 times the size of the 4 iv2i files. On the same date as the i004.iv2i there is a folder "File Backup Data".

Do I need all?

If you want to use i004.iv2i, you also need the base .v2i file along with i001﻿.iv2i, i002.iv2i﻿, and i003.iv2i﻿.

What is in the File Backup Data folder? I suspect you used File and Folder Backup at one time or another so it probably contains .fbf files. If so, and the data is also in the image file (i004.iv2i), then the files are redundant and can be deleted. If the files that were backed up by File and Folder Backup were not in the image file(s), you can import that folder into Ghost to rebuild the database and restore files if you want.

Note that if you want to prune this down to one .v2i file, You can open i004.iv2i in Recovery Point Browser and use the Copy button to export that Recovery Point to it's very own .v2i file. This file will not depend on anything else.
